Three Playwrights, Three Centuries
Captions available
The idea
Marlowe in the fifteen nineties, Shakespeare around sixteen hundred, Sheridan in the seventeen seventies. Renaissance tragedy, Renaissance tragedy again, and a comedy of manners. The exam's drama band spans at least that range, and unit nineteen names two later playwrights whose texts this course does not hold.
In practice
Three writers, three centuries.
Where people slip
Two later ones are named only.
